DIY: Race Tag Board



With a family full of runners, we have more race tags than we can count! 

They represent fun times and great accomplishments, which should be proudly displayed. The problem is that no one ever knows where to put them. 
We saw a great DIY project using a wood board that solved all of our race tag problems! 

What you'll need:

A Wood Board 
2 Metal Clips
Wood Glue
Paint & Brushes (one small and one large)

1. Take your largest race tag with you to find the board 
so you don't buy one that's too small. 

2. Paint the board your base color, wait for it to dry, then use a pencil to draw on the letters. This ensures that everything is centered and spelled correctly before you start painting!
3. After your board is dry, it's time to glue on the clips.
We've seen some race boards that have hooks instead of clips; however, every race tag is different and all may not fit on just 1 or 2 sets of hooks. 

We leaned ours up on a shelf, but you could hang it up on a wall with Command Strips or purchase a board that already has "wall-hanging" ability.


These make great gifts for any active person. Just find out their favorite colors and paint accordingly!
